At the moment, at the airshow “Airshow-2015”, taking place in the largest city of the United Arab Emirates, representatives of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China discuss the creation of a low-orbit satellite system under The title is “Star of Happiness.” Unique global satellite the system could be an important step in the collaboration of two space powers.
Nikolay Testoedov, who is the CEO domestic company “Information Satellite Systems”, said that in Dubai two meetings were held between Russian and Chinese space experts. China side proposed by joint efforts to create a new low-orbit a grouping of at least a hundred ultra-modern satellites for broadband internet access. Meetings like Testoedov notes were preliminary and wore a consulting character. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the terms of reference while it was not drafted, the project has great prospects.

China plans to simplify significantly for end spacecraft users as well as do similar equipment as personalized and affordable as possible. If new global satellite system for the Internet will really appear into the world, she will be able to serve not only Russian and Chinese users, but also gradually and residents of other states. At this will make access to the World Wide Web cheaper, faster and stable.
Nikolai Alekseevich notes that such a project may be only global in nature. If the operator is created in one country demonstrates the high quality of its services, they eventually are becoming in demand in other states right down to everything of the world. One of the best examples is a satellite operator. Mobile communications “Iridium”, created in 2001 in the United States. At first, the company served only Americans, but now mobile operator coverage is one hundred percent of the surface planets, including both poles.
